On the VX you have to remove the abs fuse to get a correct reading hence the 167bhp before.

 

No you don't...

Well it seemed to be the case today, I was with them all day watched everything they where doing when the abs fuse was in the reading was all over the place 167bhp when the fuse was removed (No22 I believe) it gave a perfect reading.

 

When the Fuse is in the front wheels are cutting the abs in because of the wheel speed mismatch.

abs is for the brakes only 

unless you have a traction control system on the car 

[chickendippers]

We've never had to pull any kind of fuse when putting the VX on the dyno and not heard of it either.

IIRC the speed signal comes from the front hubs, and has no input from the rear wheels so there should be no mismatch as it won't be picking anything up? I may be incorrect, but either way, never had to touch a fuse on the dyno. Just put it on, strap down and powerrrr.

Tbh You guys probably know a hell of a lot more than me i'm just going on what I saw/was told today It maybe completely wrong but when that fuse was removed it gave a totally different result.

[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

did you have a wallet full of money at the time 

and the longer they are there the more it cost

Guys....enough. Give the Lord a break. I wouldn't know either. Let's try and help not rib him.

Why would you need to remove the abs fuse?? Think it's time to find another RR.

I honestly don't know all I know is when it was removed it gave a perfect reading when the fuse was in it was terrible 

 

167bhp - Fuse in

 

231bhp - Fuse out

 

I maybe wrong it may not have been the abs fuse it was fuse No22.

Where you based Lord, I'm sure someone local to you could recommend a vx friendly RR.

It's cool, I find everyones opinion interesting good to hear what others think.

 

Thanks though

Do you have an after market traction control such as a Race Logic maybe. That will cause all hell of problems if its left turned on but a tuning firm should know that.

my bit of advice would be 

 

anyone who is making money out of something will tell you what ever they can to extract more money 

 

unfortunately its the way of the world nowadays 

[ditonics]

Not everyone in the automotive world is bad, but it certainly has more than it's fair share. So guys, any recommendation for the fella in his area?

All I can say is thats what happened today as i wanted to stay there to see what was what, I saw the dyno reading on the screen, he was concerned about the torque and said that has to be changed as its far to much for a standard setup, I asked how can we correct the torque and he said best to have it remapped and tuned.

 

He wasn't forcing me at all but he said you have to get the torque down to prevent any potential damage

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this already but torque and HP will always cross at 5252 RPM. Its a mathematical fact.

So your dyno chart is very weird and wrong.

i was just about to say that it should cross about 5000 rpm 

 

unless its NM instead of lbft
